Contact the software manufacturer for more information. Modem problems (Available on certain models) This section lists common modem problems. The modem will not receive or transmit properly. Make sure the cable from the modem to the telephone line is firmly connected to the computer’s modem port and the telephone line jack. Check the communications parameters (baud rate, parity, data length and stop bits) specified in the communications program. It should be set up to transmit at 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 28800, 33600 bps (bits per second) or higher. The modem is on, set up properly but still does not transmit or receive data. Make sure the line has a dial tone. Connect a telephone handset to the line to check this. The other system may be busy or off line. Try making a test transmission to someone else.

If Something Goes Wrong If Something Goes Wrong Wireless networking problems Wireless networking problems NOTE This section provides general troubleshooting tips for networking problems, specifically wireless (Wi-Fi®) networking. The terms and concepts used assume a basic understanding of networks, and may be for more advanced users. If you need assistance or if you are not familiar with the terminology, please see Windows® Help and Support or contact your computer technician. . Verify that your computer can detect access points or routers. If it can detect a Wi-Fi® access point or router then it may be a configuration issue. . Verify that signal strength is good using the utility provided with the Wi-Fi® adapter. . If another computer is on the same network, verify that it has network access, and can connect to the Internet. If, for example, the other computer cannot browse to a public Web site, the ISP’s (Internet Service Provider) service may be disrupted. . Verify that the Service Set Identifier (SSID), or network name, is correct—i.e., that it matches the SSID assigned to the access point you are attempting to connect through. SSIDs are case-sensitive. . Check the Windows® Control Panel's Device Manager to verify that the Wi-Fi® adapter is recognized by the Windows® operating system, and that the driver is loaded. To access the Device Manager, click Start, Control Panel, System and Security, and then System. Carefully note any error messages—these will be very helpful if you should confer with a support technician at a later time. To enable or disable wireless communication, use the Hot Key NOTE Fn+F8. For more information see “Hot Keys/TOSHIBA Cards” on page 187. . Use IPCONFIG to verify that the computer has a useful IP address—one other than the private address of 169.254.xxx.xxx assigned by Windows® . 1 Click Start to open the Start menu. 2 Type Cmd in the Search programs and files field.
